Together, we make everything.

GR Makers is an open community lab incorporating elements of a machine shop, a workshop, and a design studio.
Located in an 8,500 square-foot space near downtown Grand Rapids our members work on projects that range from the industrial to the delicate arts.
Together we are building a community focused on three key goals: enabling personal expression, providing education for all ages, and supporting entrepreneurship.

What is a Maker Space?

GR Makers is a bit like a gym for your mind. It's a place to exercise your creativity using our broad range of tools, to learn new things in our workshops, or find a personal trainer who can help you reach the next level. Our members come from all sorts of backgrounds: from electrical and mechanical engineers to painters and poets, from software designers and developers to tailors and machinists. No matter your background you will find people to encourage you and challenge you to think of things in new ways.
